*TRANSVERSE SHEAR STIFFNESS
Data line when used with all other beam sections:
First (and only) line:
1. Value of the shear stiffness of the section.
2. Value of the shear stiffness of the section.
3. Value of the slenderness compensation factor or the label SCF. If this field is left blank, a
default value of 0.25 is assumed. If the label SCF is specified, the values of the shear stiffness
specified by the user will be ignored. They and the slenderness compensation factor will be
calculated from the elastic material definition with the beam section.
If either value is omitted or given as zero, the nonzero value will be used for both when the
label SCF is not used.
